Observer Members’ Supper Club: Off-Menu Pizza & Wine at Cane Rosso

We at the Observer are super excited about our next members’ supper club, not because it’s one of our favorite pizza places — it’s actually three (!) of our favorites. The dinner will feature all three styles of pizza from the PILF Restaurant Group: Neapolitan-style pizza from Cane Rosso, Detroit-style from Thunderbird Pies and New York-style from Zoli’s. All refined and off-the-menu.

Dinner is on Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., at Cane Rosso at White Rock Lake (7328 Gaston Road). Each of the six courses is paired with wine. Dinner costs $85 per person (plus ticket fees). Tickets include tax and tip.
